I think there is a server pack for that server.

Matrix, you don't actually need to do that but it do cut down on the sync time, and for some of us that is a point to consider.

ras prepared the less lag version due to ... well ... lag being a problem when such weapons as the carpet bomber and chafmaster 3000 were fired, there is also less terrain deformation in the less lag version.... think wave motion cannon.

i kept both version for download since the less lag version is better over the internet, but if one was doing a LAN party over fast ethernet, the original version would work just fine, and would be more fun.

the "85 weapons at hallsted i am server" is in my house, and i went and installed the server pack on my play computer because ... even on my own LAN .... i did not want to wait while the 400 odd entities were synching up.

yes, it is server side only, but it is worth the 157KB download not to have to wait for entities to sync.
